All Ferrari's are special. But some have more of a groundbreaking inauguration than others. Take our 2024 Ferrari 296 GTB for example. It features decades of Italian supercar passion, all channeled into one compelling package. The 296 features a twin-turbo V6 engine paired with an electric motor, just like the company’s legendary Formula 1 cars. From factory, the combined output is rated to be 818 hp. All this considered, this is one insane package that’s cemented itself at the top of the supercar category by being the fastest production Ferrari around the Nürburgring, breaking the 7-minute barrier with a time of 6:58.7, making it yet again an all-time great from the factory in Maranello. Picking up our featured car will grant you instant access to a coveted model from the prancing horse, all without having to wait in line to get your hands on one.

Exterior and Interior

The lines of the 2024 Ferrari 296 GTB are more than just art — even if they exude the kind of appeal that makes this car look like it's going 200 mph even when standing still. The design is an evolution of the mid-rear-engined two-seater Sports Berlinetta concept. One look and it’s unmistakably a Ferrari design, with a short wheelbase, muscular wheel arches, a visor roof, and flying buttresses. Our featured car foregoes a Nero exterior for a much more sinister, yet stunning shade of black. Look closely, though, and you’ll notice Ferrari’s signature color poking out behind the gloss black wheels, with large red brake calipers with the marque’s illustrious lettering on them. The interior is the perfect mix of road car and Formula 1-inspired racer. You get a host of tech and creature comforts combined with a distinctly driver-oriented cockpit. There’s an entirely digital dashboard inspired by the car's stablemate, the SF90, while the passengers are also treated to their own digital display so they can take part in the visceral experience of piloting a Ferrari.

Engine

The heart of any Ferrari is its powertrain, and that’s just as true in the 2024 Ferrari 296 GTB as in any other of the Prancing Horse’s machines. You’ll find a 3.0-liter mid-rear mounted V6 with an 8,500 rpm redline coupled to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The combustion engine is supplemented by a plug-in hybrid system for a combined output of 818 hp, all of which is sent to the car’s rear wheels. The 7.45kW motor is nestled between the engine and gearbox allowing for lighting quick accelerations and shifts from a standstill with instantaneous torque like feel you would experience in a full electric vehicle. With a 0-60 time of 2.4 seconds, this Ferrari sets the benchmark for new supercar status dominating its competitors around the track.
